Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a splash in 2021 with her “Tax the Rich” dress. Then the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation.
The worst hit they can come up with is she paid too little for a “tax the rich” dress
pardon 1,500 traitors = okay
offending rich = >:(
This doesn’t look like the Epstein list at all.
So Taco can accept a jet from a foreign country, and AOC needs an investigation over a dress?
Jesus fucking Christ. These assholes just need jail. Begging for it.
A dress that she MADE A POINT to pay for, despite ALL Metz gala dresses, and entry fees, being paid for by the designers.
This is just absurd. And it took them years to reach this conclusion, with an eagerly complying “defendant”. Imagine someone who actually fights them on any real charges? They’ll never get anywhere…
Release the Epstein files
Yup, this is just another “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” distraction.
Well, at least she looks good in it.
Having hired suits and whatnot before to go to weddings, I’m not quite seeing the logic here. $19k “tax the rich” dress seems a bit of a tasteless disconnect between medium and message, but renting it for $1k doesn’t seem crazy. Committee “did their own research” and thought $3k would be more appropriate, when most attendees pay nothing at all? Surely getting her fee refunded would be more in-line?
She accepted a free ticket to the Met Gala for her boyfriend like it’s something everyone gets to do. And that’s while having a staffer help her make ethical decisions. Because ethics is a complicated puzzle when you can’t pass up free things and discounts.
But I guess a little corruption is fine as long as we’re dealing with fascists and oligarchs. Why can’t my politicians use their position to live a little? Just take less than the other corrupt politicians and you’re good.
Keep sending weapons to Israel queen! We’ll overlook a dress or two!!
If this is all they can pin on her, while they bomb iran and fuck children…then I’ll take her getting a free ticket to a gala anyday.
I feel like you did not read the article
So you really think anyone who writes a comment like that reads articles? He gets all his opinions spoon-fed to him through Newsmax and OAN.
None of the other attendees paid for shit but she offers to pay so it doesn’t look like a gift. The “market rate” for this stuff is zero. She paid above the market rate!
